THE BEST POKE SPOT hands down! Their spicy tuna is really good. I also love their shrimp and crab salad combo. I love doing the build your own, and love adding the pickled radish, mango , cashews , sweet chili, etc to the bowl. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Not much space to sit, more stools/table concept.
Just had a day trip to New Jersey with family last weekend. Glad to know there are plenty of decent restaurants and cafés along the Pallisade Avenue in Englewood. Poke Crew is very clean and bright. I got my bowls very quickly and they looked all colorful. You can build your own bowls if the menu doesnt not fit your flavors. Highly recommended for those pursuing efficiency and tasty meals. ＊Double Dragon w/ Lettuce The sauce of Double Dragon was quite spicy but it matched well with tuna and salmon, yet I would prefer a lighter sauce like wasabi or almond sauce in order to taste the freshness or fish and veggies. ＊ Crab Salad w/ Kale Noodles ＊ Tofu Avocado w/ Kale Noodles Kale noodles were amazing - no carbs option for those who are on keto diet. Mixing the crabmeat, fishroes and kale noodles hit the spot tremendously well. Will definitely reorder this if I visit Poke Crew again. My Recommendations: Crab Salad w/ Kale Noodles Worth Returning? Yes
Awesome poke for the price in my opinion. They give you a pretty good amount of fish and the chunks are huge compared to places in manhattan and Splash (no hate on Splash though). No fishiness on the salmon which I loved. Loved the tamago, shiso, and seaweed salad. Only thing was some of my brown rice was really hard and I hurt my tooth a little because I was eating so fast. But I didn't mind that so much because I like my rice on the chewier side anyways.
The freshest ingredients with so many bowl options and you can even make your bowls. Loved it here and staff were so nice and helpful.
Best poke in the area. As a frequent customer from day 1/their grand opening, it's great to see their success and growth over the years, with their expansion to Closter Plaza (and the addition of boba to their menu!) I have a severe nut/sesame allergy and they've always been super accommodating for my complicated orders :) Management is very friendly and their food is always fresh. Highly recommend, always & forever!
Service was quick. Ambience was okay. Very specious and clean. I had a double dragon, which is sort of a spicy poke and its sauce was a bit too much. Due to its spiciness. It was tasty, but hardly tasted the flavor of salmon and tuna. If you want to enjoy the flavor of fish, you might want to go with non-spicy ones.
Very efficient bright clean place. Should've taken a pic. Service was quick built my own poke bowl. Lots of options although other similar places have unlimited options. Here not so but still it was all very good and fresh. Recommend it.
Not a fan. There was a preset scallop bowl special noted on a chalkboard away from the the main menu which I decided to try along with extra salmon. I wasn't asked what kind of rice and was given white rice which was fine. The quantity of food was good although that was my expectation as my bowl was close to $20 with the additional protein. The quality of the salmon was good but the bay scallops were really bland and lacked flavor. The sauces that came with my bowl wasn't strong enough to balance out the lack of flavor. A stronger sauce or some varying texture crispy/fried component to balance the bland scallops would have been ideal. I ended up leaving some of the bowl uneaten as a result. How you place an order was a bit confusing. I wasn't really sure where to order as the menu board up top was away from where you actually place your order. As I stood looking at the menu board it was not clearly evident that where you placed your order was somewhere else. The service was really curt but quick once I ordered. "Know what you want?", "Togo?" and "No" was essentially the only words I got from two different employees. I stood for a bit waiting for some acknowledgement before I was able to order.
TLDR: tasty and quality poke. Online ordering was easy to follow. Would order again! Tuesday Dinner (7:00pm)Order for 4 ~~~~~FOOD~~~~~ *Build Your Own ($13) - large pieces of salmon - generous serving of cilantro and scallion; had to take some out - white rice was fluffy and cooked perfectly - not sure if they forgot to add my second sauce (ponzu soy), or if I just didn't see or taste it - yuzu kosho mayo added a good citrus flavor and brightness - the ichimi added a nice kick to cut through everything - the other 3 orders were another build-your-own, double dragon, and coconut chicken - everyone loved their bowls and said they'd order from here again!
*Quarantine Takeout Review* When you want something light and refreshing, but filling (unlike a salad), I suggest a poke bowl from poke crew! Thank you for being open and bringing out my takeout to my car! I ordered a bowl with zucchini noodles because rice can be too heavy sometimes. & the noodles were great!! Not soggy and portioned well. All other ingredients they have are fresh and yummy as well.
Wanted to give this place a higher review, but unfortunately customer service left us no choice. My wife and I drove to Engelwood to get poke - and were looking forward to this first-time experience. Our server herself was very amicable. I ordered the double dragon bowl, which was really good. My wife ordered the sunshine bowl. Her bowl comes with avocado as one of the components. As this was being made, we noticed the avocado was very oxidized. Being the very first customers of the day, it was clear this was old - so we asked if we could have fresh avocado. Another fellow, who appears to be the manager came over, he proceeded to tell us there is nothing wrong with it. Politely we said, "no - this is oxidized - and it is not fresh." After he tried a second time to somehow convince us we don't understand the basic workings of an avocado, he stopped mid-sentence and aggressively pulled the avocado off - throwing the bad avocado off in the garbage and left the bowl incomplete. He the. THREW the prep bowl down (to the point where it made an abnormally large noise due to the aggressive throwing of the bowl) and walked away - leaving it to his employee to finish the process of completing our order!! It was like watching a grown man throw a temper tantrum... Honestly, we were so stunned by the utter lack of basic professionalism that we just paid for the bowls and left the issue unresolved. We would have left the restaurant, but had driven nearly 40 minutes - bypassing several of poke stores to come to this one because of the positive reviews... How wrong we were. For a restaurant concept which prides itself on freshness of product, this exchange was a poor reflection on this business. Having literally unlocked the door for us to come in at the start of the day, one would assume a modicum of freshness. Even putting a bit of an acid like lemon on would preserve avocados - or cutting this fresh to order. There were so many ways he could have mitigated this issue to make things right. Sadly, either this guy's standards of freshness are extremely low (which concerns me because we also were eating raw fish!) or he needs some very basic training on what fresh produce looks like. Either way, his outburst and utter lack of interest in basic hospitality is distressing. A little bit of basic emotional intelligence and quality control would go a long way here... Maybe they don't need to think about these issues - but I dare say if this type of attitude continues, it won't be long before these doors close. I hope there will be some serious reflection and adjustments of attitude and commitment to keeping things fresh. Hoping someone will be able to chat to this guy. I think the concept is great. Some basic coaching in customer service would be needed if this guy is going to be managing this restaurant.
Great poke bowls with a wide variety of sauces, I recommend the honey pineapple sauce. They also have a nice selection of bowls and if you can't decide on one, you can build your own :). We took our order to go, but they will allow 8 people in the restaurant at a time. They allow inside dining. Bench seating along the windows. We took our bowls to the palisade overlook which was five minutes away. Metered Parking wasn't hard to find.
The service here is great as are the poke bowls i had the sunshine poke bowl which had avocado, crabmeat, tobipoko, nori , tamigo, on a bed of rice seaweed and lettuce. Very delicious miso soup as well. Store is meticulously kept read more
Poke Crew is one of my go-to spots for a poke bowl. For those who have never had poke, it's basically like a Hawaiian version of Chipotle with raw fish. You can build your own bowl or choose from a signature menu with pre-selected ingredients. They have a large variety of toppings and sauces for every taste palette. It's around ~$15 for a bowl, which is reasonable. They let you choose 2 bases, 2 proteins, 6 toppings, 2 sauces, and 4 garnishes. My favorite signature item is the Philly Bowl. It includes smoked salmon, avocado, cucumber, ginger, red onion, scallion, everything bagel spice, wasabi cream cheese, nori, and ponzu sauce. The fish is fresh and chopped into large chunks. There's a perfect balance of flavors. I also really like their iced tea fruit infusions. They brew their tea onsite and use fresh fruit. It's so refreshing! It's located on Palisades Ave in Englewood, NJ so angled parking can be a bit of a pain during rush hours. The interior is clean and bright with bar seating. Give them a try! read more

To be fair, my first taste of poke was in Hawaii and unfortunately Poke Crew did not live up to it. First, it was hard to find a bowl that didn't have anything sweet or mayo based in it's description. I decided on Futo Poke but to my surprise the pickled ginger was sweet. I love desserts but cannot deal with sweets in my food. Tuna was very fresh and rice properly made. I may have to customize my bowl for next visit. I had the iced oolong tea minus the fruit preserve for fear of oversweetness. The tea was delicious but $4 is a bit overpriced. I won't be running back but I'll make a return when the craving hits. read more
So excited to finally see a poke spot open up in North Jersey! This sleek and modern fast casual restaurant serves up different spin-offs of the delicious and trendy poke bowl, which is the popular Japanese Hawaiian fusion dish taking NYC by storm. I stopped by for dinner on Grand Opening day and was impressed with how smooth and seamless the service was for Day 1. The menu offers several signature bowls (with some intriguing/innovative options like "El Taco" and the "Philly") and custom make-your-own poke bowls. For those who don't prefer raw fish, they also have tofu, crab salad, chicken, and unagi bowls, which all looked like fantastic alternatives. I ordered The Crew, which is a rice bowl topped with tuna chunks, fish roe, pineapple bites, crispy fried onions, cashews, rice cracker puffs, jalapeno, and a light wasabi mayo and teriyaki sauce. The balance of flavors in this dish (with the sweet pineapple and subtle spiciness of the jalapeno and wasabi mayo) were perfect, and I LOVED the different textures in this dish. The fish tasted very fresh with top notch quality. I also tried a few bites of the Skuna Bay, which tasted lighter with a soy sauce base but was still packed with flavor. This one is probably a little closer to what I think of as a "traditional" poke bowl. Service overall was professional, accommodating, and quick. The co-founders were extremely friendly and excited to talk about their food, so don't be shy about asking questions. Can't wait to come back and try other flavors. read more

Favorite Dish(es): The owner recommended The Crew or Skuna Bay. I had the opportunity to try both. I personally liked The Crew better, but since I enjoy salmon more than tuna, next time I'll probably swap the tuna out for the salmon. Interior Design / Cleanliness: The interior design is slightly modern and overall the place was pretty clean. One thing I would like to note is that due to store renovation, we had to enter through a shared side door which was slightly unpleasant and had a weird odor. Parking: There's plenty of places to park on the street and since I went on a Sunday, it was free. The street is busy so I recommend parking outside of the store on the other side of the train tracks. Last Remarks: I almost swapped out the wasabi mayo for gochujang because I'm not a fan of wasabi, but I'm so glad that the owner stopped me and told me to try it with the premade as it would create a nice flavor profile. He was right. It was delicious and can't wait to go back again soon. Follow me on Instagram @dailymealhabits for more food adventures. read more
Half a dozen visits later, an update: Skuna bay bowl is fillin' and feelin'. My favorite thus far! It was exactly what I was looking for. Fresh chunks of glistening salmon perfectly paired with the robust zing from ikura (salmon roe), tasty seaweed salad, punchy ginger, umami edamame & hijiki, oh-so-delicate chopped shiso leaves dressed in subtle wasabi yuzu dressing. For those who may not know shiso, it looks like a miniature perilla leaves (Korean "kkaetnnip" - plz stop saying 'sesame leaves' cuz they ain't! ) because they belong to the perilla plant family and so shares that strong fragrant taste, except shiso packs more punch than its larger cousin. This works really well with umami Japanese cuisine of many kinds, and it works wonders here. Ok, that was my brief homage to shiso. Some who don't like strong fragrant greens might take note and adjust accordingly. Now that I know both chefs Yong and Titus, they took note of my review and request for more traditional Hawaiian poke (tuna + shoyu) and Titus told me yesterday that they will be introducing it soon. Rejoice, traditionalists! Their premise is always impeccably clean and inviting, business is happening (they're hiring), and the staff always friendly and helpful. So whatcha waiting for? Go eat here and thank me later! read more

Poke Crew is the first poke shop that I've heard of in the area. Their counter is reminiscent of a Chipotle style place with ingredients being added is you move down the line. You can choose one of their predetermined bowls or make one of your own. I opted for the "Double Dragon", a bowl with a mix of salmon and tuna. They have a bunch of different ingredients for your bowl and all the ones that were in mine tasted fresh. The bowl was a decent size and the food was just enough to satisfy me without making me feel like I'd explode. My only complaint is it's a bit pricey at about $13+ for just a bowl. You're easily looking at $15 if you want a drink too. That being said, the price is on par with other poke spots I've been to so I won't knock them too hard for it. Long story short: the food was very good (albeit pricey) so I'd probably only come back on rare occasions. If you're a fan of sushi or sashimi, this is a great way to get your fix of fresh fish. read more

Decent poke joint in the Englewood neighborhood. I ordered takeout for lunch and got a Double Dragon poke and a Chashu bowl. The poke was pretty good. Fish tasted fresh and the sauce gave the rice good flavor. I do think the price is on the high side. It's $14 without add-ons, which is even higher than some poke places in Manhattan. I liked the Chashu bowl as well. The pork looked dry, but it was actually pretty tender and had just the right amount of fat on it. Overall, I think the food is pretty good. I just think they're a bit overpriced. read more

The Poke Crew is the place to go! Not only is it fun to s choose your own toppings, and customize it to your liking, but the seafood is fresh and delicious! AND, the staff were friendly enough, and made the delicious food quick. I will definitely come back again! read more
Finally got a chance to check this place out. I usually do not head towards the Englewood NJ section of Bergen County. Located in their downtown (?) area where all the shopping is. The place reminds me of Montclair food scene. Food: Think about Taco Bowls but... sushi form. Fresh fish on top of rice plus all the trimmings. Currently I am more inlove with their teas than the poke bowls (curse my lack of stomach space). I shall return for a different poke bowl soon. Price: I would say average. You're expected to spend $15 per person here maybe a little more if you go for the teas. Service: Assembly line style type of service with the cashier at the end. Parking: There is parking in the back. You'll need to bring quarters but they have an parking app as well. read more
Always wanted to try this spot. Finally got a chance today, and it was definitely worth it! I got the double dragon bowl with salad instead of rice. It was amazing, and have a little kick, which I like. I will definitely be back to try other bowls on the menu. read more

I like the modern take on poke they have presented here from the menu to the design of the restaurant. You can either make your own bowl, or choose from their creations. I was in a rush so I choose one of theirs, the Philadelphia (also the royal rumble is in Philly this weekend). Think a Philly roll but served like an open faced sandwich. The salmon was bright and delicious, all the veggies we're fresh, and the sushi rice was cooked perfectly and was very sticky as it should be. They topped it off with a jalapeno cream sauce that was tasty, and I wish I asked for extra. It was like 13 bucks for a bowl, which was fair considering it was loaded with fish and I was full. read more
New kid in town and definitely a great one to say! There's not many poké places in New Jersey for some reason...all of my experiences have been in Manhattan so far. I have tried the OG before so I held high standards to this type of cuisine haha. First off, the decoration is on point. It give off both a clean-wooden and modern vibes with a touch of Hawaiian. They leave a lot of spaces for customers to simply grab n go, especially during the lunch hours. I could imagine that daily lunch rush hour just like most poké places. Nevertheless, you can also enjoy a bowl there because there's plenty of bar seats. The two main factors that outshined a lot of places are: the Freshness of the fish and the Portion. These two items are their major pros. I look for big, fresh chunks of tuna and salmon because that should be the center of the meal, and not soaked into a sea of lettuce and sauces - a lot of poké tend to have that problem. The bowls are filled up with good amount of fish and other ingredients. Recommendation: try all the chef's signature bowls before you make your own bowl first. There's something about them that you won't be able to try elsewhere. Enjoy! read more

Chic new corner spot for fantastic and fresh poke bowls in North Jersey! The 10 preset bowls are thoughtfully curated and come with a signature flavour to distinguish them from one another (and from any other restaurants serving poke). The juicy salmon sashimi chunks are elevated by the wasabi yuzu soy sauce in the Skuna Bay bowl, while the crunchy shallots and crispy taco bits were a fun way to infuse Mexican flavours into Japanese Hawaiian fusion. There are actually a few choices that use all-cooked ingredients - make sure to ask the chefs if you don't prefer raw fish! I particularly love the tea bar next to the checkout. The big glass containers show off the colours of the tea, and they become a refreshing treat after being hand-shaken with ice and fruits. The Ceylon grapefruit reminds me of classic lemon ice tea with bitter notes, while the Jasmine kumquat is a fresh take of Korean honey-citrus tea. There is a hot matcha latte on offer right now - perfect for the winter and better than the Starbucks next door. The co-founders are certainly passionate about this, and it was great to watch them answer questions, make recommendations and work on their craft for the local community. read more
